This unit builds on concepts and skills acquired in FIT1012 with regard to digital video and audio formats commonly used in the creation of audiovisual content. Recent developments in technology have made the dissemination web based video, in a variety of formats, more efficient. However in most cases the devices involved in recording and editing this content Digital video cameras and audio recording devices as well as domestic television and DVD players still conform to broadcast standards. This subject introduces students to the technology and techniques involved in producing audiovisual content using these standards to produce informational video content of a technical quality consistent with standard DVD technology which can thereafter be repurposed for other mediums such as CD ROM and the web. Skills developed in this unit can be applied to the following : FIT3008, Advanced digital video, FIT3039, Studio 1 and FIT3040, Studio 2.

At the completion of this unit students should be able to -
